tyler searle Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Bought a new Throwout bearing and it appears to be way too big. It's the bearing that both CARs and Bobs show for a '38 special, #1505. Of course we can't find the old one to compare it to. Is there supposed to be a sleeve or something that fits inside it? Also need the rubber part that goes on the side of the bell housing where the clutch fork goes through. Any ideas? I'm asking these questions for the guy rebuilding my engine so I hope I'm explaining things properly . Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMicheletti Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Yes, the bearing has to be mounted on a "carrier" that has ears for the throwour fork. The seal around the fork to bellhousing was some kind of oil cloth. It is not rubber. To the best of my knowledge, no one makes a proper reproduction.

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Tyler, where are you? If the Piece you need is the same as later years, I have a spare. I think Buick calls it the "clutch release collar".It is a necessary piece as it does a couple functions. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler searle Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Thank you all so much. I'm going to search for the part today and will be in contact if I can't find it. I'm in western N.Y. Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler searle Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Found the missing part. It's a long story on why it was missing and it involves the local raccoons. All is well now and thanks for the advice and offers to help. Tyler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMicheletti Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Here is a phoyo of the throwout bearing carrier. You can see the "ears" for the fork. There are also 2 clips that hold the eard against the arms of the fork when installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
